MaxiShock Double Insulated Cable

Because of its low tensile strength and thick zinc coating, wrapping it several turns around the conductor or stainless P spring provides an enduring connection capable of transferring the high volts and amperes of low impedance energizers.

By contrast, HT ins. wires, including our PIW34 wires, must be secured by a connector because their high tensile properties causes them to slightly untwist--allowing sparking and corrosion to develop over time.

Common Uses

Specs

Extra-thick layer of galvanized zinc protects the connection from rusting

Low tensile strength

7 strand cable

1.7 mm diameter

10 years of probable life

160 lb breaking strength

Benefits

Unlike normal insulated fence wire, MaxiShock insulated cable does not require special connectors. It can be removed and reinstalled many times.

Cost

$0.44 per foot. Less if ordering longer lengths.

Installation

Just cut the soft wire cable with a knife or heavy duty scissors, strip off 3" of the insulation and wrap it 4 or more times around the wire by hand.

Precautions

When using it for underground electric fence connections, placing it in a conduit (we use a 3/4" water pipe) is advised.

When working with this wire, always be sure that the energizer or fence is turned off.

Troubleshooting

If you have no voltage on your fence, be sure to check the connection at the energizer and at the fence. A loose or insecure connection doesn't allow energy to flow through it, thus you will have no energy on the fence. Once you are done checking things, remember to turn the energizer back on.
